The purpose of this chapter on overlays is to provide additional standards and requirements in response to specific conditions, situations or circumstances, both natural and human caused, so that development can occur while mitigating the specific conditions, situations and circumstances the specific overlays are designed to cover.
(2005 RLDC § 69.010)
The requirements set out in each of the overlays shall be in addition to the requirements of the underlying zone. Where a conflict exists between the requirements of the underlying zone and the overlay, the more restrictive shall apply.
